* History
** Initially designed as a successor to the aging [[Miranda (class)|Miranda-class]] during the late 2330s and early 2340s, a period of higher militarization within the [[Federation]]
** Registry block 43700-43899 reserved 2341
** Initial construction: 2341
** First commissioned: [[USS Mediterranean (NCC-43700)|USS Mediterranean]], 2342
*** Shakedown tests concluded 2343
** Construction on remaining vessels runs from 2344 to 2354
** Design saw initial success throughout the 2340s and 2350s, especially seeing plentiful service in the [[Federation-Cardassian War|Cardassian war]] in the late 2350s (Novel: ''Revelation and Dust'')
** During the [[Federation-Tzenkethi War|Tzenkethi war]] in the early 2360s, massive unexpected losses of Mediterranean-class vessels to Tzenkethi forces led to discovery of previously-unnoticed structural integrity weaknesses as a result of converging high-capacity [[EPS]] conduit runs in the aft hull
*** ''Inspired by ''Star Trek: Explorer - "The Expert"'' ''
** Following the end of the Tzenkethi war in late 2363, it was determined after a three month review that producing a redesign that would remove the weakness would divert too many engineering resources from many high-priority projects for too long to be warranted, especially as many of their duties had already been taken by the more modern [[Springfield (class)|Springfield]]- and [[Challenger (class)|Challenger]]-classes instead
** In lieu of a refit, the Mediterranean class was reclassified as Transport and Mediterranean-class vessels were relegated to low-risk missions within Federation territory whenever possible
